Christ Has Changed My Life

How has God changed my life in the past year?
I have to start by first explaining how God has changed my life the past year and a half. Last year on celebration Sunday I was about six months new to the church still learning about Christianity and what it means to be a Christian. This year I feel I have so much to be grateful for and so much to celebrate.
Although things are not how I expected them to be, I know they are the way God wanted my life to be. It is hard to believe I am going through so much and yet I feel so happy. Along with half a million other American’s I am going through a foreclosure , financial hard ships, relationships issues, and just daily stresses of work and the family life.
When I started my journey with Christ, I was (there is no other way to say it) a straight mess. Didn’t know where to go from here but God brought new meaning and understanding to our life.
God made me realize I didn’t need a bigger more expensive house, he taught me how to appreciate the smaller townhouse we already owned.
God showed me how I don’t have money to go out and eat out, but he showed me how I can spend valuable time with my family by staying home and cooking dinner every night.
God showed me how to appreciate and pray for my husband and not to expect him to change because I can’t change him.
God also showed me the power of prayer. I pray now as much as I can or as much as I can remember. I had lots of talks with God because he made so many things possible for me. On my drives home or at night before bed, after every talk I had with God I always felt this calm joyful peace inside. .
I prayed for a new job, closer to home to spend time with my family and God made it happen. I prayed to quit smoking and have quit for over 1 year now. I can probably go on and on with all the great things God has done in my life because he truly is Great!!!
Thank you Seneca Creek for introducing me to Jesus Christ!
